Short piece on a pattern I keep noticing: the "always-open call" keeps getting independently invented by people who've never heard of each other's version. Three times now, different contexts, different motivations. Same solution.

Three different eras, three different reasons, the same solution: leave a call open all day. The pattern keeps getting reinvented because the need it solves was never optional.

In 2015 I designed a governance model for a consulting collective — dynamic membership, elected president, shares that decay when you leave. The industry called it "fractional consulting" a decade later.

Wrote up the model and why the structural problems I was trying to solve are still unsolved. The AI angle is new.

In 2015 I designed a governance model for a consulting collective with dynamic membership, shared ownership, and a rotating elected president. The consulting collective trend arrived a decade later. The structural problems I was trying to solve are the same ones people are running into now.

New post is up: From AI Disclosure to Process Transparency.

Most AI attribution statements are too vague to be useful in real workflows. In this piece, I argue for process evidence over generic disclosure and show a redacted real-world example from a software delivery cycle.

If your team uses AI, what do you actually record for review and audit?

Most AI acknowledgments are too vague to be useful. Process transparency gives teams a practical, auditable way to describe human-AI work without pretending the model is an author.

I’ve been discussing prompt lifecycle on LinkedIn this week. One useful pushback: “keep prompts narrow and task-specific.”

I agree. But the bigger question is where prompt state should live.

My current pattern:
- project prompts stay durable
- issue prompts are ephemeral
- ` # # BUILD PROMPT` on the GitHub issue is the ex*****on contract
- issue closes -> prompt closes

If your team uses AI coding agents, where does prompt state live?

Prompts are ephemeral — one issue, one prompt, one fix. Here's why I stopped treating them like durable artifacts and started putting them where they belong: on the issue itself.

I shared a relatively quick thought on AI Attribution on LinkedIn the other day. I finally posted something a bit longer and would love to hear from all of you. https://buff.ly/3SGeZBS (linkedin link)
